Raveberry is a music player that uses a Raspberry Pi and a DAC for high-quality sound reproduction. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to install Raveberry on macOS.
Go to the Raspberry Pi website and download the latest Raspbian Image.
Insert the SD card into your macOS computer and open the Terminal. Type the following command to check which disk is your SD card:
diskutil list
Unmount the disk using the following command:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX
where X is the number of the SD card.
Now, you need to flash the Raspbian Image to the SD card. Type the following command:
sudo dd bs=1m if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskX conv=sync
Make sure to replace path_of_your_image.img with the path to the downloaded Raspbian Image and X with the SD card number from the previous step.
Connect your Raspberry Pi to your macOS computer using an Ethernet cable or USB Wi-Fi dongle. Make sure that your Raspberry Pi has booted up.
Type the following command in the Terminal:
arp -a
This will show you the IP address of the Raspberry Pi. Now, open a web browser and type the IP address in the address bar.
Click on the Raspberry Pi Configuration icon and go to the Interfaces tab. Enable SSH and SPI, then click OK. Reboot your Raspberry Pi.
Open Terminal and type the following command to log in to your Raspberry Pi:
ssh pi@raspberrypi.local
When prompted for a password, type raspberry. Now, type the following commands to install Raveberry:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/raveberry/raveberry.git
cd raveberry
sudo ./install.sh
During the installation process, you will be asked about your DAC. Follow the instructions carefully to set it up.
Once the installation is complete, you can start using Raveberry. Type the following command to start Raveberry:
sudo service mopidy start
Now, open a web browser and type the IP address of your Raspberry Pi followed by :6680. This will take you to the Raveberry web interface. You can now play your music from any web-enabled device on your network.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Raveberry on your macOS computer. Enjoy hi-fi music using your Raspberry Pi and DAC.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
